Overview

Get the Product out the Door!

While that may sound harsh, here at Dealer-FX we need Managers who can utilize their skills to help us deliver results to the customer and do whatever is necessary to achieve success. We are an award winning company with a comprehensive suite of products for our OEM clients. We’re first in our space, and we have every intention of keeping it that way. With autonomous vehicles and self-driving cars, automotive technology is taking off and we continue to be forward thinking with our software products.

As our Manager, Software Development you’re smack in the middle of clients, developers, sales, product teams, and you’ll be pulled in many different directions. Do your job well and no one notices, when mistakes happen it’s you they come to first.

A day-in-the-life of this role is pretty much going to look like this (give or take the curveballs, and other surprises that will keep you on your toes): Managing the Development team with clear objectives and removing any impediments to their success, keeping everyone informed and managing expectations with pro-active updates, controlling the development process and ultimately to deploy an outstanding and quality product.

So what does this Development Manager have in their toolbox to make them such a lynchpin in a fast paced and ever changing software company like Dealer-FX? What’s the key to success in this role?

Stress Management skills that would make a bomb squad jealous; both for yourself and within your team

Relationship Management abilities that come so naturally to you that you’re always the “go to guy” in any organization

A keen sense of taking ownership of the practice and the drive to make things better, all the time.

Delegation skills, but also the knowledge to know when to jump in and help

Confidence to deliver updates to the team, the CEO, the Client or whoever is requesting them without feeling scrutinized, and realizing that there are bigger things than just you

Intense attention to detail, processes and a hatred for delivering poor quality.

People like working here because of our immense growth, cutting edge product and new technologies, coupled with teams of people who are passionate, skilled and at the top of their game. We’ve done a good job at creating an environment that supports three pillars we feel are key in a successful company; PEOPLE< CULTURE< PROCESSES. We give our clients “The Best Experience. PERIOD” and we live by that promise. It has a trickle down effect from our C-suite of executives right down to our newest intern.
